I was thinking the Tetragrammaton.

I don't know what that is, but if you like it, we can name it that.

Obscure sci-fi reference that sounds cool. That's all we need, really.

Done. I'm sold.

This is why we work well together. Now: what do we watch in the fort first?

Star Wars.

I was hoping for something more kiddy. We are doing something juvenile. Don't you have a favorite animated movie?

Beauty and the Beast. That's my favorite.

Excellent. JARVIS, pirate a copy of that if we don't have it.

Aren't you rich enough to just buy it if you don't have it?

Don't spoil my fun.

I'm sorry. I don't want that.

My fun is very juvenile, I know. I'm just past caring. As evidenced by the fort.

It doesn't bother me. It's a lot of fun. And I need fun.

Good. Hopefully that'll paper over the not-so-fun part that'll come up one day.

It makes me nervous when you halfway mention that.

Which is why I keep halfway mentioning it and not explaining it. I'm trying to gauge your possible responses, here. Scientifically. Also I got a relationship book.

And what does your relationship book say?

That if you find out from a source other than me, you'll leave me. And that you might leave me anyway and I need a support network in case that happens.

And what do you think, Tony? After what we've already been through?

I don't know. I don't want to lose moments like this. I love you. I love this thing we have, I love being with you, I love your smile, the way you feel when you're holding me. The way you treat me like it doesn't matter I'm rich. The way you always have my back in a battle. The fact you're stronger than any woman I've ever known.

If I lose all that, I just don't know how I'd handle it.

[Carol finishes placing her cushion before looping around the fort and stepping up to Tony. Her arms loop around him and she holds him close to her in a tight embrace.] You still have all of that. I don't want to lose you either.

I have that until I drop the bombshell on you. [He hugs her tightly, too tightly.] I - I - you know I've been to therapy before. You know what happened to me when I was seven. It had side effects. A side effect. I- I, Carol, I'm not crazy, I'm not, I'm not dangerous, I'm not a psycho, I promise, I promise I'm still Tony...

[The tightness doesn't even bother her.] I know, Tony. I know. You're still Tony Stark. You're still the man I love.

I have a split personality.

[And he drops his arms, steps back, wraps his arms around himself and shuts his eyes, bracing for the fall out.]
